Today is November the 11th, 2005-- the year of the Veteran. Today is the day that we take time out of our lives to remember those who have given their lives and their service for our countries.
In this year of the Veteran, we remember those who fought in our world's most cruel wars, both living and dead. Their sacrifices allow us to live the way we do today, and thus, we are all eternally indebted. Every single thing we do is possible, because men, women, and in many cases, even children took up arms and came together to fight for a morally just cause.
This year of the Veteran does not mean we remember the wars. We remember the soldiers; the fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters, and the families of those who stood up to fight for what they believed in. All these soldiers are deserving of being remembered.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Semper Fi, Lest we Forget, Je me souviens.
Sniper Extraordinaire
Read the FUD Rules before you come in and make an ass of yourself.
All your base are belong to us.
You have no chance to survive make your time.

I Don't think it really matters what it's called it's a day of rememberance. Honour those that have served the cause of freedom and those that continue to serve it. Honour those that have died and those that continue to put their lives on the line so that we may be safe to take 2 minutes of our day, once a year in the act of rememberance.
